Jacquard tapestry created at Magnolia Editions. The secrets of Michelangelo's paper: Recreating 16th-century Italian drawing papers for contemporary artists Donald Farnsworth and the staff at Magnolia have been hard at work using custom woolen felts from sheep with 500-year-old DNA - as well as a host of other tools and techniques - in an effort to recreate the richly textured surfaces of cinquecento drawing papers at large scale for today's artists. Farnsworth will present his findings to conservators at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in January in a talk titled The Secrets of Michelangelo's Paper. Stay tuned to Magnolia's blog and Facebook for further updates. EVENTS & EXHIBITIONS: Chuck Close at Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, WA. Photo by Deborah Oropallo.
